Earthing the gas supply pipe into the house

[Coaster]

nope. thats way out the way.. so looks like the wire routing option unfortunatly

Maybe. However, as I've recently written, the most crucial question is the nature (material) of the pipe supplying the gas meter. If it is plastic, and the meter (and all of your copper pipe) are above ground, then there probably is no need to bond the gas pipework at all.

Fair enough - I take it that you mean that the pipe coming out of the ground and going to the meter is copper? That's unusual - if the supply pipe is not plastic, it's usually steel. However, if it's metal, no matter what metal, I'm afraid you're going to need to bond your incoming copper gas pipe.
